Personally Identifiable Information

Any data that can be used to identify a specific individual, such as name, email address, location, biometric data, or device identifiers. For assistive technology users, PII concerns are heightened because the data collected often reveals sensitive information about a person's disability, health status, physical capabilities, or daily routines. Technologies like visual interpretation services, navigation aids, and speech-to-text tools may capture images of users' surroundings, precise location data, and voice recordings as part of normal operation, creating privacy risks that go well beyond typical app usage.
